About the Office

The Office of Access & Inclusion (OA&I) leads the grantmaking for legal services, and policymaking on access to justice and diversity, equity, and inclusion work at the State Bar. In 2026, OA&I, working with the Legal Services Trust Fund Commission (LSTFC) and the Board of Trustees, distributed approximately $300 million to 118 nonprofit legal aid organizations serving all 58 California counties. OA&I also supports various initiatives to promote and advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in the legal profession by partnering with other offices of the State Bar and external stakeholders.

About the Job

The State Bar of California seeks a full-time Program Analyst or Senior Program Analyst who will be a key member of the grants team. Responsibilities may include administering grants for legal services to low-income Californians; supporting grant compliance by helping ensure grantees meet statutory and program requirements and reporting deadlines; researching and writing memos to the LSTFC and its committees; maintaining important relationships with volunteers, agencies, grantees, and other stakeholders; and developing and managing a variety of projects to help increase transparency, efficiency, and impact of grants administration. This position will require travel to visit in-person with State Bar grantees and other stakeholders.

The Ideal Candidate

The successful candidate will be an excellent communicator with precise writing and analytical skills; demonstrate sound judgment and attention to detail; and have strong project management and organizational skills. Because of OA&I’s work with public commissions and councils, other State Bar offices, and external stakeholders, collaboration and relationship building skills are essential. Experience in compliance, public speaking, legal aid, or grantmaking is a plus. The team values people who bring a passion for social justice, collegiality, and integrity to the workplace.
